SUBJECT
History of CORONA Operations
REFERENCE : Memo for DD/P from C/DB/DPD, same subject,
dated 3 June 1960, with Attachment
I read your referenced memorandum and the attached Lockheed
history of CORONA Operations with interest. It is in my opinion a quit*
useful summary of experience to date. I also agree with you, however,
that it is somewhat superficial and might well include the added p
suggest. I also agree with you that we should have such a documen
the files, and most likely we will wish to refer to it in planning discussions
during the next several months. I hope you will hang on to this copy while
Lockheed is doing any further work you may ask the
